Following stuff like this on Twitter is horrendous. Nobody cares about checking the facts before posting.

Police now saying it's a terrorist attack.

Awful.

What can we do to stop this happening??

With those numbers, and probably rising, the explosion would have been inside the arena I am guessing?

It appears as though it was outside of the arena, just as the concert was ending (so many people were presumably leaving the arena).

Happened in the entrance/exit foyer area according to reports

There's a video out there from a dashcam showing the roof light up and a loud bang, so it looks like it. very sad

Nothing confirmed with deaths but it seems it was definitely inside, yes. There was a car dashcam video outside where you could see a flash and huge bang, the guy in the car shout 'No'. There have been suggestions it was a nail bomb.

 

[The_La]

19 confirmed dead. 50 injured

 

[RomanReigns]

I remember from the Boston Marathon bombing that there was massive smoke after the explosion and that was a pressure cooker bomb

people have said that they have not seen any smoke so do you think it could be suicide bombers waiting outside as people were leaving?

 

[Zezti]

Man was just on the phone to BBC News, saying he was in the foyer waiting for his family and the explosion happened behind him (outside I think) which threw him through the door inside and many people who were outside were lying on the ground.

Where are you getting this from? All first-hand accounts so far have said it was near the foyer, outside of the arena.
